Stainless Battery Hardware
Anyone ever use stainless on their battery or motor studs? The good stuff, 316, not the home depot 304 junk. Wondering if their are any downsides to running stainless? Whatcha think?

Re: Stainless Battery Hardware
Are you talking about SS nuts on the battery studs and the motor studs Right. That is what the batteries come with.

Re: Stainless Battery Hardware
Yessir, that's what I'm talking about. Some of mine must have been replaced with carbon because they were rusty and I had to sand them down to get to shiny metal on my #2 wire upgrade. The ones on the motor were definitely carbon too.
So it's no problem to run stainless seeing as they come with them originally. Thanks for the quick reply |

Re: Stainless Battery Hardware
Now the batteries come with SS studs and SS nuts. Not the motor. I don't see why you can't use SS on the motor studs

Re: Stainless Battery Hardware
Sure, use SS on the motor too, much less likely to rust

Re: Stainless Battery Hardware
I'm wondering if placing a copper washer under the SS nut would be OK....

Re: Stainless Battery Hardware
Keep in mind you can have dissimilar metal corrosion. See attached chart. You could coat them with anti-seize but that would cause a problem with electrical connections.
